English Translation
Do not pass over a good deed
just because it seems insignificant

Do not let the desire to possess and accumulate material things
prevent us from giving

Original Mandarin Version
莫轻小善而不为
莫贪积财物而不拾

Deimos Analyzes
I shall discuss how this “Silent Thought” can be applied in the Cyberspace, aye? Let’s take a look at the following imaginative scenario shall we?

In the official EntreCard Forums:
Pinrut, an EntreNewbie posted a rather newbish question in the forum.
Mas, an EntreExpert who saw Pinrut’s question, answered it promptly.
Pinrut is impressed by Mas’s helpfulness and eventually becomes a Powerful EntreCarder.

Not exactly a good example perhaps, but I believe it explained the first phrase well?

The second phrase can easily refer to any examples of beggars asking for alms, where generous folks would donate some moolah while stingy ones would ignore the beggars.

However, as there are a plethora of scams nowadays, it is better to donate to reputable charity organizations. Not a good deed to help bad guys, I reckon.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Nowadays, I get the feeling the physical realm that we exist in, is getting kinda darker and darker. No, the sun is not dying! I mean like, the dark ages and stuff.

Just looking locally at Malaysia alone, the crime rate is ever increasing, many cases are never resolved, etc etc. As if the end of days is approaching, aye?

Still, this does not stop one from doing good deeds, right? Share some love yo! As the Black Eye Peas would rap it – Where is the Love?

Deimos Asks
So do you perform good deeds when the opportunity arises?
Any kind of nicie nice nice good deeds.

Is it that bad in the United States? 💡
I always thought that Ang Mohs are a more friendly bunch? 🙂
Like Michael Jackson would sing, start with the man in the mirror. 😀
Let’s attempt to make the world a better place by doing a little part. 😛

Let me step onto a soapbox real quick. Cellphones, cars, TV, modern living, etc. takes interpersonal relationships away which makes people less caring and less willing to help others. But, and it’s a big but(like J. Lo), blogging creates an atmosphere where people are opening up in journal-like fashion to people they don’t know and others are reaching out to them, personalizing things again. It may be a first step towards personalizing thy neighbor even if you’ve never seen thy neighbor in person.

@Reward Rebel:
Idyllic world indeed. 🙂
However, not everyone practices such philosophy. ➡
That does not stop me from practicing it though. ❗

@Scott:
Heck, I get a similar kick too! 😀

@StanHayes:
The way I see this blogging thingie is kinda like this: 😎
My domain is like an extension of myself in the Physical Realm 😈
Make sure how I behave in Cyberspace is acceptable in the Physical Realm 💡
Again, my policy is networking with others sincerely.

Good post. I understand what you meant by it feels like we’re going back into the dark ages. It’s more apparent ever since I came back home. So now I’m trying to do it bit by bit, even if it means giving way to that ugly piece of purple Satria on the road 😉

I also blog about various PC Games that I own in my Steam Account as over these years I have purchased and amassed quite a number of PC Games all bought from the online digital store Steam.
